HEMALATHA V, AGA FOR R1 TO R3 AND R4 TO R14) THIS REVIEW PETITION IS FILED UNDER ORDER 47 RULE 1 OF CPC 1872 R/W ARTICLE 226 R/W 227 OF CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO REVIEW THE ORDER DATED 04/07/2022 PASSED IN W.P.NO. 23355/2018, WP 22892/2018, WP 19837/2018, WP 19714/2018 (S-RES) (ANNEXURE-A) AND MAY BE PLEASED TO CONSIDER THE ABOVE PUT FORTH GROUNDS IN THE INTEREST OF EQUITY AND JUSTICE OR PASS ANY OTHER ORDER AS DEEMS FIT TO THIS HONBLE COURT IN THE LIGHT OF THE ABOVE STATED FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 15 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33728 RP No. 653 of 2022 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA ORAL ORDER Heard Sri. V. Lakshminarayana, learned Senior counsel appearing for Smt. Anusha L., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Smt. Hemalatha V., learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents No.1 to 3 and 5 to 14. 2. The petitioners have sought review of an order passed on 04.07.2022 on a certain ground that the petitioners were entitled for regularisation. A perusal at the review petition would indicate that the petition is sought to project grounds that are already considered and ordered passed. Therefore, if the review petition would be entertained, it would be sitting in appeal over the said judgment for re-hearing the matter all over again, which is not the scope of Order XLVII Rule 1 of the CPC, as there is no error apparent on the face of the record for this Court to entertain. If entertained, it would run foul of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of KAMLESH VERMA Vs. MAYAWATI, reported in (2013) 8 SCC 320. - 16 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33728 RP No. 653 of 2022 3. The Apex Court in the aforesaid judgment has held as follows: "20. Thus, in view of the above, the following grounds of review are maintainable as stipulated by the statute: 20.1. When the review will be maintainable: (i) Discovery of new and important matter or evidence which, after the exercise of due diligence, was not within knowledge of the petitioner or could not be produced by him; (ii) Mistake or error apparent on the face of the record; (iii) Any other sufficient reason. The words “any other sufficient reason” have been interpreted in Chhajju Ram v. Neki [(1921-22) 49 IA 144 : (1922) 16 LW 37 : AIR 1922 PC 112] and approved by this Court in Moran Mar Basselios Catholicos v. Most Rev. Mar Poulose Athanasius [AIR 1954 SC 526 : (1955) 1 SCR 520] to mean “a reason sufficient on grounds at least analogous to those specified in the rule”. The same principles have been reiterated in Union of India v. Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd. [(2013) 8 SCC 337 : JT (2013) 8 SC 275] 20.2. When the review will not be maintainable: (i) A repetition of old and overruled argument is not enough to reopen concluded adjudications. (ii) Minor mistakes of inconsequential import. (iii) Review proceedings cannot be equated with the original hearing of the case. (iv) Review is not maintainable unless the material error, manifest on the face of the order, undermines its soundness or results in miscarriage of justice. - 17 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:33728 RP No. 653 of 2022 (v) A review is by no means an appeal in disguise whereby an erroneous decision is reheard and corrected but lies only for patent error. (vi) The mere possibility of two views on the subject cannot be a ground for review. (vii) The error apparent on the face of the record should not be an error which has to be fished out and searched. (viii) The appreciation of evidence on record is fully within the domain of the appellate court, it cannot be permitted to be advanced in the review petition. (ix) Review is not maintainable when the same relief sought at the time of arguing the main matter had been negatived." 4. In the light of the said judgment, there is no warrant of interference, the petition stands dismissed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE JY List No.: 1 Sl No.: 212
